The "25 health" thing could be an issue - on higher difficulties that's less than one shotgun shot...
About the leaving spawn thing, I'm not sure. The game will already replace players with bots if they're completely idle, and I'm sure someone somewhere has come up with some tactic or other for the first level of no mercy that needs a player to stay behind on the roof (probably not a _good_ tactic, but nevertheless...) Though if they were to go with that, I'd say "within x seconds of everyone else and at least y distance away from the nearest player" > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 07 December 2008 23:24 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [hlds] L4D: TK'ing becoming more of an issue > > I rent a server, but occasionally I have to join other servers without > active administrators.
